Onion mate I have similar problems.. how do u find doing squats my I ask? I have great difficulty with them!
I have no skin or something between the joints so its bone on bone I have low flewibility and i can't do a full squat...
Tuesday i had to have a 70 kg guy on my back when my knees were fully bent into a squat it was really hard for me as we were on and excercise team building..and i had to stop my self falling forward...at the sametime really was awkward that day was ****ing great tuesday :P man it felt like a workout
pulling people up a 15 foot sheer rock wall.. i stood on two peoples shoulders couldnt reach the rope so they had to lift me over head with their hands then had to pull myself up with what we thought was gonna be a rope but wasnt it was a a harness that went for 4 feet down the wall... i had to pull 17 people 1 after other in a harness..was at a firemans place. 1 fat guy weighed 180kg fattest guy in my college...Remember i am older than them but i had to waste two years learning swedish so i am about 2 years older than them! Lucky some guys 4 feet behind me could help pull the geezer up and my best mate helped too in the 2nd harness... but geezer he was the 2nd til last guy was hard as hell cuz of all the other activites more fun than a workout and i had ache after from doing that sort of stuff!
Anyone a fireman here totally off the subject but I was wondering waht it would take to become a fully fledge fireman as I could see it as a possible career! but the prob is my knees and i cud see it being a hinderance in the job!
